HoCoKids Campaign

You could lessen the chill this holiday season by warming a deserving HoCo kid’s heart.

For more than 20 years, the Howard County Police Foundation and Police Department have worked together to ensure that many of of our county’s disadvantaged youth have a happy holiday season. Children in grades K-5 who are often homeless or whose families are struggling to make ends meet, are invited to attend a holiday party every December sponsored by the foundation. They celebrate the season with officers playing games and doing crafts. The children enjoy a warm meal and are given a holiday present containing winter necessities (coat, gloves, hat, shirt) plus a craft and toy.

How can you help? Give the gift of holiday happiness and sponsor a child! Make an online gift or mail a check using the form downloaded here. Thank you for helping make the holidays a little bit brighter for our county’s kids. If you would prefer to donate a new unwrapped toy, socks, hats or gloves, donation boxes are located in the Howard County Police Department locations:

Sponsorship Information

Be a Corporate/Individual Sponsor to help warm the hearts of our HoCo Kids. We are looking to provide for at least 100 of our county’s disadvantaged youth this holiday season (but of course we’d love to help more!). There are a number of levels of sponsorship and we hope you will be generous in your contribution.
